Talk 3: Capturing the Scale and Value of the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise Organisations

Keynote Speaker: Professor Tony Chapman, Director of Research, Policy & Practice, St Chad’s College, Durham University We know from personal experience with people and communities how valuable our work is in the voluntary sector (VCSE). But how do we quantify this and tell a story with the data? We’ll hear from Prof. Tony Chapman who is using pioneering methods to demonstrate the scale, value and impact of the VCSE sector. Tony will share the outcomes of the recently commissioned research in the BOB area exploring the impact of the not-for-profit sector.
